CUBED STEAK (SWISS STEAK)

Steps:

• In large skillet, heat oil on medium heat. Saute onions and peppers until soft, about 5 minutes. but not brown. Remove the saute mixture from the skillet. Set aside.
• If more oil is needed, add a small amount to the pan. Place steak in pan and brown on both sides.
• Add the peppers, onions, tomatoes, parsley and dill to the steak. Cover and cook on low to medium heat.
• Check often to make sure steak does not stick to skillet. You may have to add a little bit of water, Cook for about 1 hour. Check to see if meat is soft, cut off a small piece to taste. If not cook for a few minutes more. Most of the time, however, the meat is so tender that the meat does fall apart.

CROCKPOT SWISS STEAK

Steps:

• Shake the steaks in flour in a gallon size zip lock bag to coat the steaks thoroughly with the flour.

SWISS STEAK RECIPE

Steps:

• Season the pieces of steak all over with some salt and pepper. Sprinkle with flour and pound the flour into the steak using the side of a bread and butter plate. Keep doing this on both sides of the pieces of steak until no more flour can be absorbed. This is what makes the meat meltingly tender.
• Melt the butter and canola oil together in a large deep skillet. Brown the pounded and floured pieces of steak in the hot fat on both sides, working in batches until all of the meat is browned, and removing to a plate as it is done.
• Add the onions to the pan drippings and sauté until they are beginning to soften. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds then pour in the tomatoes, along with their juices, and the Worcestershire sauce. I like to break the tomatoes up roughly with my hands.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper, and hot sauce if desired. Return the steak to the pan, submerging it in the tomato sauce.
• Cover tightly and simmer over a low heat for 1 ½ to 2 hours at which time the steak will be very tender and the sauce nicely thickened. Check it periodically to make sure there is enough liquid in the pan. If you think that it needs more, feel free to add a bit of beef stock or hot water.

CLASSIC BEEF SWISS STEAK

Steps:

• Season steak with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
• Heat a large lightly-oiled deep skillet over medium-high heat. Brown steak on both sides; remove from pan and set aside. Add onion and peppers; cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in wine and tomato juice, scraping up browned bits from pan. Stir in steak sauce and bring to boil; add potatoes and return steak to pan.
• Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 60 to 90 minutes, or until beef and potatoes are tender.

MOM'S SWISS STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place the rack in the middle position of the oven.
• Cut the beef into serving-sized pieces. If some pieces are thicker than others, pound them with a meat tenderizer so they all are 1 inch thick.
• Season both sides of the meat with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper, and place in a 9x13 baking dish.
• Add the tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper, 2 teaspoons onion powder and garlic powder, and three tablespoons Worcestershire sauce to a large mixing bowl. Fold it all together and pour over the steak in the 9x13 baking dish.
• Cover the dish and cook on 350 degrees for 1½ - 2½ hours covered. (The total cook time depends on the thickness of your meat and the cut of meat you use. It could require more time in the oven if it's not as tender as desired.)
• When the meat is tender, remove from the oven and allow to sit for 5 -10 minutes uncovered.
• If you'd prefer a thicker sauce, pour the liquid from the pan into a sauce pan over medium high heat. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoon water. Bring the sauce to a boil and stir in the cornstarch slurry for 1-3 minutes until it's thickened.
